CEO Commentary

"I am very pleased with the Polaris team and the strong execution they
delivered across the business during the 2nd Quarter. With
solid retail growth and market share gains in both our Off-Road Vehicle
business and Indian Motorcycles, we are clearly reaping the benefits of
our safety and quality investments, new product innovations and improved
delivery performance. Consumer sentiment and dealer traffic improved
throughout the Quarter, building momentum which will help offset the
rising risk of tariffs in the 2nd half. During the Quarter we
were excited to announce another expansion of the Polaris powersports
portfolio with the acquisition of Boat Holdings, the largest
manufacturer of pontoon boats in the U.S. Between organic growth and
considered acquisitions, Polaris’ underlying performance has
significantly improved, but much of our success is being masked by
substantial cost escalation driven by tariffs and commodities. As we
navigate through increasingly dynamic markets, our efforts to enhance
product quality and innovation, boost productivity and become a more
customer centric Company are paying off, and Polaris is well-positioned
for further success.”

Polaris Industries Inc. (NYSE: PII) today reported second quarter 2018
sales of $1,503 million, up 10 percent from $1,365 million for the
second quarter of 2017. Adjusted sales for the second quarter of 2018
were $1,505 million, up 11 percent from the prior year period. The
Company reported second quarter 2018 net income of $93 million, or $1.43
per diluted share, compared with net income of $62 million, or $0.97 per
diluted share, for the 2017 second quarter. Adjusted net income for the
quarter ended June 30, 2018 was $115 million, or $1.77 per diluted
share, up 45 percent compared to $78 million, or $1.22 per diluted share
in the 2017 second quarter.

Gross profit increased 10 percent to $385 million for the second
quarter of 2018 from $350 million in the second quarter of 2017.
Reported gross profit margin was 26 percent of sales for the second
quarter of 2018 compared to 26 percent of sales for the second quarter
of 2017. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2018 includes the
negative impact of $5 million of Victory Motorcycles wind-down costs and
realignment and restructuring costs. Excluding these items, second
quarter 2018 adjusted gross profit was $390 million, or 26 percent of
adjusted sales. For the second quarter of 2017 adjusted gross profit of
$364 million, or 27 percent of adjusted sales, excludes the negative
impact of $13 million in Victory Motorcycles® wind down costs
and restructuring and realignment costs. Gross profit margins on an
adjusted basis were down slightly due to unfavorable product mix, the
impact of tariff, commodity and freight cost pressure during the
quarter, offset by improvements in warranty expense, VIP savings and
favorable exchange rates.

Operating expenses increased five percent for the second quarter
of 2018 to $284 million, or 19 percent of sales, from $270 million, or
20 percent of sales, in the same period in 2017. Operating expenses as a
percentage of sales, improved as the Company realized efficiencies
through its selling, marketing and general and administrative spend.

Income from financial services was $21 million for the second
quarter of 2018, up 11 percent compared with $19 million for the second
quarter of 2017. The increase is attributable to improved retail
penetration and higher income from Polaris Acceptance due to higher
dealer inventory levels.

Equity in loss of other affiliates was $4 million for the second
quarter of 2018 compared to $1 million last year's second quarter
resulting from losses associated with the wind-down of the
Eicher-Polaris joint venture in India.

Other expense (income), net, was $4 million of income for the
second quarter of 2018, versus $2 million of income in the second
quarter of 2017 resulting from foreign currency exchange rate movements
and the corresponding effects on foreign currency transactions related
to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2018 was
$20 million, or 18.0 percent, of pretax income compared with $30
million, or 32.5 percent of pretax income for the second quarter of
2017. The decrease in the effective income tax rates is primarily due to
the reduction in the federal statutory tax rate to 21 percent as a
result of U.S. Tax Reform and an increase in excess tax benefits related
to stock based compensation.

Off-Road Vehicle (“ORV”) and Snowmobile
segment sales, including PG&A, totaled $991 million for the second
quarter of 2018, up 17 percent over $846 million for the second quarter
of 2017 driven by growth across most categories. PG&A sales for ORV and
Snowmobiles combined, increased 13 percent in the 2018 second quarter
compared to the second quarter last year. Gross profit increased 12
percent to $297 million, in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $266
million in the second quarter of 2017.

ORV wholegoodsales for the second quarter of 2018
increased 18 percent primarily driven by strong RANGER, RZR, and
ATV shipments. Polaris North American ORV retail sales increased in the
mid-single digits percent range with side-by-side and ATV vehicles
growing retail sales in the mid-single digit percent range.
Side-by-Sides and ATVs again gained market share during the quarter in
their respective categories. The North American ORV industry was flat
compared to the second quarter last year. ORV dealer inventory was up
high-single digits in the 2018 second quarter compared to the same
period last year due to increased shipments of newly introduced products.

Snowmobile wholegood sales in the second quarter of 2018 was $4
million compared to $7 million in the second quarter last year.
Snowmobile sales in the Company’s second quarter are routinely low as it
is the off-season for snowmobile retail sales and shipments.

Motorcyclesegment sales,
including PG&A, totaled $171 million, a decrease of 13 percent compared
to $198 million reported in the second quarter of 2017 due to a weak
motorcycle industry and timing of shipments for Indian motorcycles
year-over-year. Slingshot sales were also down due to the weak
motorcycle industry. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2018 was $25
million compared to $21 million in the second quarter of 2017. Adjusted
for the Victory wind down costs recorded in both the 2018 and 2017
second quarters, and restructuring and realignment costs, motorcycle
gross profit was $25 million in the 2018 second quarter compared to $30
million for the 2017 second quarter.

North American consumer retail demand for the Polaris motorcycle
segment, including Indian Motorcycle and Slingshot, increased low-single
digit percent during the 2018 second quarter. Indian Motorcycle retail
sales increased mid-single digits percent. Slingshot's retail sales were
down mid-single digits percent during the quarter. Motorcycle industry
retail sales, 900cc and above, were down mid-single digit percent in the
2018 second quarter. Indian Motorcycle gained market share for the 2018
second quarter on a year-over-year basis, in spite of an overall weak
N.A. industry motorcycle market in the second quarter. Motorcycle dealer
inventory was down low-single digits percent in the 2018 second quarter
compared to the same period last year due to moderated shipments in an
overall weak motorcycle market.

Global Adjacent Marketssegment
sales, including PG&A, increased 17 percent to $113 million in the 2018
second quarter compared to $97 million in the 2017 second quarter. Sales
of Goupil and the Commercial, Government, Defense businesses drove most
of the increase. Reported gross profit increased 32 percent to $28
million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $21 million in the
second quarter of 2017.

Aftermarketsegment sales
increased one percent to $227 million in the 2018 second quarter
compared to $224 million in the 2017 second quarter. TAP sales in the
second quarter of 2018 were $210 million, which was up slightly compared
to the second quarter of 2017. Growth at TAP's retail stores and online
platforms were largely offset by lower accessory sales for the new Jeep
Wrangler which was available for sale later than anticipated. Gross
profit decreased to $58 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared
to $60 million in the second quarter of 2017.

Supplemental Data:

Parts, Garments, and Accessories (“PG&A”)sales,excluding Aftermarket segment sales, increased eleven percent for
the 2018 second quarter driven by growth across all segments, regions
and product lines during the quarter.

International sales to customers outside of North America,
including PG&A, totaled $204 million for the second quarter of 2018, up
7 percent, from the same period in 2017. Foreign exchange movements
represented four percent of the sales increase for the quarter. The
remaining increase was driven by strong sales in the Company's EMEA
business for ORV and motorcycles.

the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $263 million for the
same period in 2017. The decrease in net cash provided by operating
activities for the 2018 period was due to higher factory inventory
related to the higher sales and the model year changeover. Total debt at
June 30, 2018, including capital lease obligations and notes payable,
was $1,113 million. The Company’s debt-to-total capital ratio was 56
percent at June 30, 2018 and 2017. Cash and cash equivalents were $182
million at June 30, 2018, up from $127 million for the same period in

Share Buyback Activity: During the second quarter of 2018, the
Company repurchased and retired 1,429,000 shares of its common stock for
$177 million. Year-to-date through June 30, 2018, the Company has
repurchased and retired 1,562,000 shares of its common stock for $192
million. As of June 30, 2018, the Company has authorization from its
Board of Directors to repurchase up to an additional 4.9 million shares
of Polaris common stock.

2018 Business Outlook

The Company is raising its full year sales guidance and now expects
sales to be in the range of 11 percent to 12 percent over 2017 adjusted
sales of $5,428 million and narrowing and adjusting its earnings
guidance range for the full year 2018 to account for Boat Holdings
income and elimination of intangible amortization of previously acquired
companies to better reflect the true underlying performance of Polaris'
core businesses. Adjusted net income is now expected to be in the range
of $6.48 to $6.58 per diluted share, compared with adjusted net income
of $5.10 per diluted share for 2017. The revised guidance takes into
account approximately $40 million of escalating tariff and related
commodity cost increases as the Company understands them today.

(1) Represents adjustments for the wind down of Victory
Motorcycles, including wholegoods, accessories and apparel

Wind Down of Victory MotorcyclesIn 2017, Polaris announced
its intention to wind down its Victory Motorcycles operations. The
decision is expected to improve the long-term profitability of Polaris
and its global motorcycle business, while materially improving the
Company’s competitive position in the industry. The Company will record
costs, anticipated to be in the range of $80 million to $85 million
through 2018, associated with supporting Victory dealers in selling
their remaining inventory, the disposal of factory inventory, tooling,
and other physical assets, and the cancellation of various supplier
arrangements. In 2017, the Company recorded pretax costs of $77 million.
In the first and second quarter of 2018 these costs were immaterial.
These costs are excluded from Polaris’ 2018 sales and earnings guidance
on a non-GAAP basis.

Restructuring, Realignment and Supply Chain TransformationPolaris
announced in 2017 that it was making changes to its network to
consolidate production and distribution of like products and better
leverage plant capacity and embarked on a multi-phase supply chain
transformation initiative to continue to leverage its supply chain as a
strategic asset. Year-to-date ending June 30, 2018, the Company has
recorded costs totaling $18 million related to the manufacturing and
distribution network realignment and the supply chain transformation
projects. In addition, the Company has recorded TAP and Boat Holdings
integration and acquisition related costs of $8 million for the
year-to-date period ending June 30, 2018. The costs for these projects
are excluded from Polaris’ 2018 sales and earnings guidance on a
non-GAAP basis.

Eicher-Polaris Joint Venture Impairment in IndiaRegulatory
changes have negatively impacted the likelihood of success of the joint
venture, and as a result, in late-February 2018, the Board of Directors
of the joint venture approved the wind-down of the joint venture.
Year-to-date ended June 30, 2018, Polaris has recorded charges totaling
$23 million, including the impairment of the Company's equity investment
in the Eicher-Polaris joint venture in India and wind down costs.

Intangible amortization related to acquisitionsAs a result
of the Boat Holdings acquisition, Polaris' amortization of intangible
assets is expected to increase by approximately $25 million to $30
million on an annual basis. Given the significant increase in non-cash
amortization associated with this acquisition along with intangible
amortization from prior acquisitions, the Company will be moving to an
adjusted net income metric, excluding intangible amortization from all
acquisitions including prior year acquisitions of approximately $24
million for full year 2018. The Company believes this treatment will
provide additional transparency into the true, ongoing earnings
performance of its business.

2018 Adjusted Guidance2018 guidance excludes the pre-tax
effect of acquisition integration costs of approximately $25 million to
$30 million, supply chain transformation and network realignment costs
of approximately $20 million to $25 million and the remaining impacts
associated with the Victory wind down which is estimated to be
approximately $5 million. Additionally, 2018 guidance excludes the
pre-tax gain of $13 million related to the Company's investment in
Brammo and charges of $23 million, including the impairment of the
Company's equity investment in the Eicher-Polaris joint venture in India
and related wind down costs, recorded in the first half of 2018.
Additional costs associated with the wind down of the joint venture, if
any, are expected to be immaterial for the remainder of 2018. Intangible
amortization related to all acquisitions has also been excluded. 2018
adjusted sales guidance excludes any Victory wholegood, accessories and
apparel sales and corresponding promotional costs as the Company is in
the process of exiting the brand. The Company has not provided
reconciliations of guidance for adjusted diluted net income per share,
in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item
10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The Company is unable, without
unreasonable efforts, to forecast certain items required to develop
meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures. These items include costs
associated with the Victory wind down and acquisition integration costs
that are difficult to predict in advance in order to include in a GAAP
estimate.
